Reasons why this *is* the best sound card to buy now.

by nquinn , Jul 31 '00
Pros: awesome sound quality, EAX support, CHEAP
Cons: not as much memory as the standard Live card.
For the money, you cannot find a better sound card. The sound quality is clean and crisp. Even when hooked up to a home stereo, the quality
sounds nearly 2x as good as other sound cards. Creative has long been
known for their use in games,...

Nice card, Little green stuff.

by arundip , Nov 26 '00
Pros: Saves you $$$, environmental audio. Nice sound.
Cons: Not great for huge parties, or playing games at max sound level.
I used the Soundblaster PCI128, and was very unhappy with it. Therefore, I decided the Live!Value was a good choice for me, as it was inexpensive and had good reviews. Installing the card was a snap, and I was up and running with one of the greatest...

by JDHannan , Nov 14 '00
Pros: Works properly, cheap like borscht
Cons: too many holes!

I almost cried out in joy

by ethanT , Oct 16 '00
Pros: Excellent fidelity
Cons: None
We've all heard crappy soundcards that hisses and crackles and pops, annoyingly. My old soundcard was one of those combo cards with modem on it too, and I actually put up with it for over a year, depending on my mini-hifi set for my listening pleasure....

Trust Sound Blaster

by TrickQba , Feb 25 '01
Pros: EAX audio, Artificial surround sound with 4-speaker support, retroactive enhancements
Cons: So many plugs it can be a little confusing
It's affordable, unbeatable, and undeniably innovative. It must be Sound Blaster Live! Value.

I purchased this card when I upgraded my computer. Being in a kit, I only had to pay about $45 for it, which is as much as any decent card will...

Great Sound and Features...

by dkoepke49 , Nov 19 '00
Pros: Easy Setup, Great Sound, Affordable.
Cons: Base Card in Live Series, Extra features sold separately
When I upgraded to a new motherboard, I had to retire my SB AWE64 Value ISA card. So it was time to venture out and find a brand spanking new PCI sound card that was going to be both inexpensive, but have some pretty decent quality.

I really...

You may need a speaker upgrade for the Soundblaster Live

by kishioka , Jan 06 '01
Pros: price, best sound card out there
Cons: need good speakers
I purchased the Soundblaster Live! Value sound card for about $45. Right now, it is the best audio card out there and its driver support is also excellent. One of the bigger problems with audio cards is that everyone seems to be going out of business....

best sound card for the money

by hangloose , Jun 07 '01
Pros: great sound
Cons: great price
I am enjoying this card! It didn't cost an arm and a leg, but I can listen to my CD's while I'm doing my monthly bills and not be able to tell the difference between the computer and my daughter's portable player. The sound is full, with good quality....

An oldie, but a goodie

by MegaAaron , Mar 30 '01
Pros: Cheap. Fantastic sound.
Cons: Um... there are cons?
Well, the actual Sound Blaster Live! Value was made in 1998, but it still kicks even the newest sound card's butt. The sound is crystal clear, even on my old speakers from 1995, from my old compaq. Nice piece of hardware. The multi-channel audio is...

Sounds great, but now I'm tense.

by jtjackson , Apr 08 '01
Pros: Great sound.
Cons: Didn't work.
I just bought a new PC (Dell Dimension 8100 - review coming soon), and I had the choice of 2 different sound cards when I was on the phone with the salesman. The other sound card (I don't remember what brand or model) had Dolby, THX, and all sorts of...
